Challenge
What is IoT container security?
When a container leaves port, it can be weeks before it’s opened again. IoT devices; GPS trackers, temperature sensors, door sensors, accelerometers, keep eyes on cargo during that journey.
Our focus on building solid, dependable, IoT hardware fits very well with the rough and tumble of international trade. We have the ablity to deploy sensors and network tools, as well as the analytics capacity, to offer real-time monitoring.
The challenge is cost: Devices must be inexpensive, rugged, and last a long time on a single battery. The security layer must work indoors and outdoors. The trend now is to bake in lightweight encryption and modular security, so shippers don’t trade resilience for affordability
